1. SPOILER-FREE WALKTHROUGH
[Lakeside Amusement Park Dream]
Keep advancing on the pretty much straight forward path. Once you reach the
end of the roller coaster rails you'll clear the area.

wandering around, let Heather be killed by a monster or fall into a pit.
(In Action Level Easy, Heather can't fall into pits, so just let monsters
kill her.)
